In order to enable failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to play a better quality control role in complex manufacturing products or systems, the current research status of FMEA is reviewed from failure mode identification, risk assessment, and industrial standard application. Firstly, the research status of system failure identification is summarized from the following aspects: the breakthrough point of identification, the types of identification methods, and the normalized description of failure modes. Then, sort out the research status of risk assessment from five aspects: risk factor evaluation criteria, risk assessment opinion expression, expert opinion consensus, risk opinion assessment aggregation, and sensitivity analysis, and find out research hotspots and blind spots; finally, the changes of FMEA standards in various fields are summarized and compared, and the future development trend of FMEA in the context of intelligent manufacturing is discussed.

Literature review and prospect of the development and application of FMEA in manufacturing industry
